I purchased (on eBay, so made in China) Goldwing foot pegs, thinking they might ‘feel’ different on the 1100. I installed them easily enough (and already have a peg lowering kit), but the first time I took a ride with them on, I realized the rear brake pedal level was too high, and I had to reach up quite high to step on the pedal. I removed the right metal panel with the foot pegs on and see the rod that pushes the (not sure what it’s called- proportioning valve maybe?) but it sends fluid to the rear caliper to activate it. The only area I see is what appears to be a thinner nut on the rod and on top of this is a normally thicker nut, I assume the top one is a lock nut and the bottom one is the adjustable. It appears there’s only like 2-3 thread pitches of adjustment and I can’t access the lower nut as it’s quite thin (and the open wrench I was using can’t get on that. Any ideas (old threads on here no longer have the pics available)- is it non adjustable? I gave up and put my OEM pegs back on and I really never had an issue with shifting / braking with those. I bought the GW pegs thinking they would make more of a difference, but I guess I didn’t notice any. Is adjustment possible on the 1300 but not the 1100?
Thanks for any replies.
